This is a place where users can communicate with administrators, or administrators with one another. You can report vandalism, problematic users, or anything else that needs an administrator's intervention. Do not report child pornography or other potentially illegal content here; e-mail legal-reportswikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergencywikimedia.org.
Vandalism []	User problems []	Blocks and protections []	Other []

Request for page semi-protection for user talk pages

Please semi-protect these user talk pages due to excessive vandalism by cross-wiki long term abuse Sidowpknbkhihj (talk · contribs) aka w:ja:LTA:HEATHROW socks.

1.  Done User talk:とせあんれ
2. User talk:ひまるや
3. User talk:Ktojsecgiioe

--郊外生活Kogaiseikatsu (talk,contribs) 13:18, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment User talk:とせあんれ was deleted and has been fully protected indefinitely by The Squirrel Conspiracy. --郊外生活Kogaiseikatsu (talk,contribs) 11:13, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Squirrel solved problems with first user. As the second user has no living edits and third is globally locked, I took liberty to semi-protect their talkpages indefinitely. Such users do not need messages from non-autopatrolled users. The vandals – I counted seven, all globally locked, so nothing is needed to do here. Taivo (talk) 13:13, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Block request for User:Haisollokopas

Haisollokopas (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user The User has a lot of deleted copyvios.
